As promised in my Gin &Tonic revisited blogpost I now share with you the recipe of the Rock ‘n roll Gin & Tonic version by chocolatier Domique Persoone. A must drink for the chocoholics!!

Ingredients:

• Bombay Sapphire East,
• Tonic (Fever-Tree Mediterranean),
• Angostura,
• Cacao beans,
• Offley Tawny Porto,
• 1 egg white,
• Paprika powder,
• Cacao powder,
• Pure chocolate,
• Ice cubes

Get Started:

• Pour a teaspoon of angostura in your glass, thrown in 1ice cube and waltz it in the glass for a few minutes and empty the glass.
• Put 2 tbsp. of roasted cacao beans in a small casserole.

• Add 3 cl Bombay Sapphire East and pour over the beans. Flambé it and let the liquid reduce until it has halved. When flame is out add another 3 cl of gin and strain the mass through a fine sieve in a cocktail shaker.

• Add 1 tbsp* Tawny Porto, the egg white of 1 egg, 1 tsp** smoked paprika powder and 1 tbsp* of bitter cacao powder. Whisk this mass with molinillo (Mexican wooden whisk) or regular whisk in case you don’t have a molinillo until a lovely foam layer appears (the egg white will make the drink very airy).

• Decorate the edges of the glass (using a small piping bag) with drops of liquid dark chocolate.

• Fill the glass with ice cubes, add the mix and fill up with tonic.

• Finish the glass with a devil head chocolate praline on a stick (only 1 address to buy some: The chocolate line).
